Even Though I am Gone

This is a song I wrote a few years back at the sudden passing of a friend's husband. I felt as if I was hearing him singing the words to her. I know that this was a personal message from him to her at the time, but I still feel that it can touch the hearts of others in a time of loss and grief. Even though those we love have left this life to enter the next, there is a part of their spirit that remains here with us, reaching out to us and letting us know we are never alone. 

EVEN THOUGH I AM GONE

Tears roll down your face

 As you watch me leave this place

 I always said, “I’ll be there for you.”

 My spirit just took flight

 You sit and cry all night

 I promise I’ll still be there for you!

Even though I am gone

 You are never alone

 Just remember I’m right there next to you

 And when you feel sad,

 lonely or mad,

 Just remember I’m right there next to you

My heart will never leave

 Grab a picture of me and cleave

 I promise I will be there for you

 Just look up to the sky

 And feel me by your side

 I promise I will be there for you

Even though I am gone

 You are never alone

 Just remember I’m right there next to you

 And when you feel sad,

 lonely or mad,

 Just remember I’m right there next to you

 

 Standing in a crowded room

 You feel over come with gloom

 I promise I am still there with you

 Alone at night you cry

 How you never said, “goodbye”

 I promise I see the tears that you cry

Even though I am gone

 You are never alone

 Just remember I’m right there next to you

 And when you feel sad,

 lonely or mad,

 Just remember I’m right there next to you
